Could you cite the law that it would be violating? How is requiring teachers to carry the tool necesary to protect our children illegal? We can require them to have certain degrees, certificates and training, but we can't require that they be prepared to protect the lives of our children?
The Federal Government is mandating that we purchase a service and it has been deemed constitutional; and it is requiring that we purchase something, not possess something. I'm sure this is a violation of Utah law, but are they going to do anything about it?
The city is paying for the training and would probably pay for the firearm by the way they are talking. So, how is this illegal? Is it illegal to require police officers to carry a firearm? No, it is a detail and requirement of the job. This can be made into a detail and requirement to become a teacher.
As for residents, they are just going to recommend they keep firearms. They have obviously removed any notion that it will be required.
